Pardon Our Dust.

Backpacks can still be used to transmit to starships holding position outside of atmosphere and the likes. There's nothing wrong with having a backpack radio.

Just make him have one shot in the pistol. That way, if people kill him for the ammo... well, they're not going to get much, and it also makes sense when he kills himself.

e: I should note that the player should see this as reason not to bother killing him on a second play through.

Yes but precious pistol ammo. =[

Suppose it makes more sense though.

The pistol is silenced anyways. the sound of him blowing his head off won't be as cool.

I never killed the marine for the ammo anyway- I always felt too bad for him. As for the silenced part, that does pose an issue. :/ I assume there isn't enough room to add the normal pistol for that scene?

We don't have a normal pistol :p

Haha. K then.

Why?? Their ammo went to infinity and beyond! I'd feel a bit envious..

High poly marine? AWESOME. Now I won't feel a pain deep down, feeling sorry for them because they practically don't have a face.

I'm not saying that 400 years into the future an alien race won't come to our planet and kill us all. I'm saying that it's very unlikely that they would be genocidal maniacs whose "holy prophets" told them to kill us. BTW, Halo takes place more than 500 years in the future. e.g. Battles for Earth take place from 2552 to 2553.

I never noticed that the gun had ammo. Make him invincible and the when you leave, make the script kill him with the scream...or something.

Or give him something useful like a shotgun to shoot at us. It'd be an incentive to kill him and take that precious shotty ammo.
